On the occasion of 14 Nov. Children's Day a sports event "BAL Dhamaal 2010" was organized for children residing in 30 slums of Bhopal in collaboration with Old Campaign Govt. School Arera Colony Bhopal. In this programme about 350 children participated in different sports events organized Viz. 100 Mtr. race for Boys/Girls separately. Needle race, Jilabi Race, Baloon Race, Sack Race etc. All the children participated in the programme were divided in the age group between 8-12 Yrs & 13-16 Yrs. The process of selection of children were carried on by the members of cluster level Bal Panchayat & CDG group. About 50 children from old campaign school have also participated in the programme & won prizes as well. The behind organizing such a vast event was all the children have the right to play & participate in recreational activities as per UNCRC. As the slums located in cities are densely populated with minimum accessibility of basic amenities of life . Most of the children residing in slums do have adequate space i.e. play ground or children's park etc. where they can play with other children & share the daily activities done by them during entire day. So in order to provide a platform for such children such a programme was organized on the occasion of Children's Day because ultimately NIWCYD-Bachpan as an institution working for ensuring Child Rights we believe that its our prime duty to provide a platform for children where they can groom & develop their skills & become an empowered citizen of the country in near future.
